FOFA #756 – Chris Crocker Tells on You

FOFA #756 – Chris Crocker Tells on You

 
 Standard Podcast [1:01:35m]:

Chris CrockerChris Crocker turned to the internet to escape the torment of being chased by gangs of boys at the mall.

The internet helped him connect with the greater world around him when he couldn’t create a gay-straight alliance in his school and he left to be home schooled. To grow up a gay, eccentric and flamboyant teen has never been easy especially in a small conservative town in Tennessee.

If it weren’t for the internet where would Chris Crocker be?

Today Chris is one of the most watched and imitated video bloggers online. His iconic video of himself weeping and imploring the public to “Leave Britney Alone” made him a household name.

Chris’ videos represent the dramatic change we’re seeing in how we create and consume media. Chris’ videos are just as popular as the YouTube Presidential debates or the evening news. For millions of people everywhere, his opinion matters.

Despite this, old media companies are threatened by Chris popularity because of his bold desire to express himself at any cost. They can’t control him and he doesn’t need them.

Chris Crocker and a big giant V Chris Crocker takes on the Bible - who will win? Chris Crocker looking fierce

It’s easy to question the authenticity of Chris’ videos because he’s just that good. He’s eerily in touch with his dark emotions and quickly cuts through the hypocrisy of the “haters” with his wit and words.

Chris Chrocker looking eerily looking like Matthew Sheppard“Leave Britney Alone” proves to be one of the most emotionally over the top videos I’ve ever seen online. I believe Chris cried not so much for Britney Spears but rather to express the pain and suffering he endured having gone through the hell of homophobia as a teenager. In many ways, Chris Crocker represents the tortured gay youth who fought back and lived.

Chris Crocker really is a huge fan of Britney Spears, even though she has conservative leanings and a complete lack of interest in gay rights of any kind. Remember, she was FOR the War in Iraq and said in many interviews that we should “stand by our President” despite his reckless policies.

Chris sees something bigger inside of Britney. He believes her to be a liberal person trapped by the conservative world around her.

Chris Crocker is a divaPeople can’t leave Britney alone or any other tragic celebrity for that matter because they help us cope with our everyday problems. When we see someone richer, more attractive and more powerful than us struggling to hold on, it makes it easy to come to peace with our place in the world.

On today’s show Chris Crocker joins us to talk in-depth about his popular video blog, his passion for following people’s horoscope and how he may team up with Puerto Rican TV astrologer Walter Mercado to reach a hip, young new audience. We also talk with Chris about how he personally deals with the vicious hate online and offline, what he thinks of all those parody videos of his work and where in Los Angeles you should hang out if you want to hook up with Chris.

And we put to rest the rumors surrounding Chris’ HIV/AIDS conspiracy as a government biological weapon gone wrong and being vilified for simply being himself and being good at it!

FOFA #744 – Art Abuse

FOFA #744 – Art Abuse

 
 Standard Podcast:

Enrique Iglesias wants everyone to know he's got a HUGE cockPoor Enrique Iglesias! The dreamy son of latin crooner Julio Iglesias is so fed up from people thinking he has a small penis that he’s issued a press release stating he has a large dick.

I believe you Enrique, but we still need visual confirmation.

About six years ago, Enrique joked in an interivew that he couldn’t find condoms small enough to fit his manhood. Now, he’s sick of being called Little Dicked Enrique, so he told Showbiz Spy says, “I said I had a small penis as a joke. And they took it literally when it is not the truth. So when people find out it’s not the case they are pleasantly surprised.”

Notice he said “PEOPLE” and not “WOMEN.” I wonder why is he playing the gender game with that neutral word “people.” If he’s into chicks, why not just say “So when girls find out” and not use the word people? What’s up with that Ricky? Are you easing out of the closet door? Because if you are, I can help you sacar la presion!

Aliza Shvarts creates an uproar by claiming she impregnated herself and miscarried over and over again for a yearHere’s a concept we talk about on the show- Art Abuse. People who create art based on their personal issues and force others to struggle with them.

The artist thinks they created the art to enlighten audiences, but in reality they punish their audience because they think the public isn’t as informed as they are. In the end nobody wins. It’s just another turn in the cycle of abuse.

Yale university student Aliza Shvartz claims to have inseminated herself and forced herself to miscarriage “as many times as possible” over a period of nine months. She intends to smear the bloody results on hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting and wrap it around a large cube suspended from the ceiling in order to “draw attention to the ambiguity surrounding form and function of a woman’s body.” Yale says that the induced pregnancies and miscarriages are just a hoax and that they are part of the whole performance piece. Aliza insists that “No one can say with 100-percent certainty that anything in the piece did or did not happen.”

Amy Burrow's art installation in MissouriOn a more inspiring note, Amy Burrow, a senior high school student in Independence, Missouri has caused quite a commotion with her installation art – a glass case filled with anti-gay posters designed to look like the ones used by protesters from Fred Phelps’ Westboro Baptist Church on top of it the words “LOVE CONQUERS ALL.”

Despite the shock to students, the school is standing by Amy, who’s work has gotten some negative responses from students.

Controversy is not a stranger to this real-life Lisa Simpson, who in the past has created and displayed artwork at her school about abortion and smoking. Remember the story of “Fag-Bug” owner Erin Davies? I’m always amazed by the way people react negatively when they see their own hate speech displayed back at them.

Richard Quest gets busted for drugs, being gaySome people rather bee seen as drug addicts than be gay. CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals and a sex toy in his boot. This guy knows how to party! When he was caught he quickly told the police about the drugs hoping they wouldn’t catch on that he was hustling for gay sex.

A poor German farmer married a woman he met on the internet only to discover on their wedding night that she had a penis. Hot. We aren’t sure what she was thinking but she must not be listening to the Feast of Fools, because if she was, she would know that you should always disclose what you got down below before you take your wedding vows. To do otherwise only leads to confusion and hard feelings. Be open and honest and find people who want you for who you are.

Stephen Hawking wearing his exoskeletonDo you believe in life on other planets? Steven Hawkings thinks there is. As reported by the Huffington Post, he believes life on other planets is very common but that intelligent life is probably very rare.

He thinks we need to get off this planet if our society is to endure. He thinks great things will come if we are willing to explore the universe. And of course, he got a little sample of what space travel is like in zero gravity last year.

The podcast that comes with a spicy surprise in every bite- Feast of Fools.
